Firstly search you should hard disk of your computer for a folder (sometimes
called Options or i386) that is often placed there by the OEMs to avoid
having to supply a full CD incase you wish to add additional components such
as Backup which they may not install by default.
Then have a look at your recovery CDs to see what they actually are - in
some cases hey may be images (no use to you in this case) or they may again
actually contain an i386 folder or a specific one with the additional
components such as NTBackup etc. - the file you require is ntbackup.msi
Finally you can ask your OEM about them supplying you with a full OEM
Windows XP CD ROM for your computer.
